Nokia may have gone with Windows Phone 7 for its future smartphone operating system, but until then, we now have the Nokia N9 to look at. Yes, a beautiful, top-of-the-line Nokia smartphone which runs MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan - but isn't this thing kind of a dead end? Also announced: the even prettier Nokia N950 Meego 1.2 developer device - only available to a limited number of developers. Sure to become a collectors' item.

Not going to happen in the US , not that it's any better than the status quo for last x years.
Say thanks to AT'n'T, Verizon, Sprint and others.
Anyway, lot's of people (from my surroundings) did the math and now they are happily buing phones on the free market using prepaid plans instead.
